I hesitate a bit to pitch my piece here, since it could accelerate a trend that we might not want if the list is otherwise active; but since it's not active for now, I'll refer to my own new piece, which is likewise on (part of) the mandate and the culture wars and aims to express a certain position outside the familiar poles: "progressive arguments for the freedom of religious organizations." http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2268824

But buried in the middle is a fairly detailed analysis of the recently published Final Rules on the contraception mandate, which also “tries to speak sanely.” Douglas Laycock Robert E. Scott Distinguished Professor of Law University of Virginia Law School 580 Massie Road Charlottesville, VA 22903 434-243-8546 From: religionlaw-boun...@lists.ucla.edu [mailto:religionlaw-boun...@lists.ucla.edu] On Behalf Of Perry Dane Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2013 10:27 AM To: religionlaw@lists.ucla.edu Subject: Contraception mandate Hi all, I've posted a short essay -- half of a projected exchanged -- that tries to speak sanely about the contraceptive mandate debate. The piece offers a doctrinal analysis, but also explores how the debate -- and in particular the overblown claims by both sides -- "suggest some imperfectly articulated undercurrents in the current American conversation about religion and the law." See http://ssrn.com/abstract=2296635 Comments would, of course, be welcome.
